Allergy Alerts

Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.

In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. These can be viewed below. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever such Allergy Alerts are issued.

Subscribing is a two-stage process. You will need to go to the subscription page and use the following procedure. Click 'Subscribe' and insert your email address before submitting your request. Then we'll send you an email asking you to confirm by clicking on a link. This is to protect you against getting unwanted emails.

If you no longer wish to subscribe to email alerts, simply repeat the process but click on 'Unsubscribe' instead. Again, we'll send you an email asking you to confirm the request. This is to prevent you being unsubscribed by someone else.

Text alerts

You can also get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.

To sign up to this free service, simply send the text message 'START ALLERGY' to the number 62372. To unsubscribe, just text 'STOP ALLERGY' to the same number.
